The latest mid-size plug-in hybrid sedan from Dongfeng Nissan, the N6, has officially debuted in China with a starting price tag of 99,900 yuan — roughly RM66,200. A promotional “benefit price” of 91,900 yuan (about RM61,000) has also been made available for a limited time.
The company signalled that the N6 could reach markets in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and parts of Latin America in the future, marking it as the brand’s first “N-series” vehicle beyond its pure-electric offerings.
Styled in line with the fully electric N7, the N6 presents a modern, sleek appearance. The front end features a closed-off nose, a full-width light bar above, L-shaped lower lights, an illuminated “NISSAN” badge, flush door handles and an integrated charging port on the rear quarter panel. The rear profile adopts a coupe-like flow, with a continuous taillight strip and a clean bumper that hides the exhaust outlets, adding subtle sophistication to its silhouette.
Built as a proper mid-size sedan, the N6 measures 4,831 mm long, 1,885 mm wide and 1,494 mm tall, riding on a 2,815 mm wheelbase. Wheel options range from 17- to 18-inch alloys, with body colours including Sunlight Gold, Mirage Silver, Wind-Coloured Purple, Rock Grey, Obsidian Black, and Pearl White.
Under the bonnet, the N6 pairs a 1.5-litre internal-combustion engine with an electric motor powered by a 21.1 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery. This hybrid arrangement delivers an impressive CLTC pure-electric range of up to 180 km (or 170 km depending on the battery variant), a figure rarely seen at this price point in the plug-in hybrid sedan class.
Inside the cabin, Nissan has blended modern tech with thoughtful conveniences. Simple trims deliver essentials such as LED lighting, automatic headlamps, “zero-gravity” rear seats, push-button start, reversing camera, a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel and a 14.6-inch central touchscreen running on Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 hardware.
Higher-spec versions go further with adaptive LED lighting, ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof with manual shade, a 540° surround-view camera system, AI-based voice assistance, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist and parking aids — all signalling Nissan’s serious attempt to raise the bar for value-for-money hybrids.
With its blend of generous electric-only range, mid-size dimensions, modern styling and advanced driving aids — all wrapped in an accessible price — the N6 could well reshape expectations of what an affordable plug-in hybrid sedan can offer in today’s market.
